Koh Chang island, rest on the islands in Thailand
Koh Chang Island is located in the Gulf of Thailand, in the province of Trat, about 315 kilometers from Bangkok. Koh Chang is ranked as a more democratic island in terms of prices. It can be safely recommended for recreation for elderly tourists, couples and just mummies who have decided to relax with their children in peace.
It is not noisy, quite decent in terms of service and prices, incredibly beautiful, and also delicious, since numerous restaurants offer not only local, but also European cuisine.
Koh Chang is considered an integral part of the marine reserve and is the most environmentally friendly resort in island Thailand!
The main territory is occupied by natural mountain landscapes and virgin jungle. All types of water activities and sports are strictly prohibited here – no water skis, boats or scooters.
The island is often called “Elephant” because “chang” means “elephant”. Here you can find both real and souvenir elephants everywhere, which looks very cute and funny.
The sea off the coast of Koh Chang is always in a state of complete calm, which is a big plus. The beaches are not crowded, you can retire to find harmony with nature. Such rest very powerfully heals the nervous system.
The island has seven waterfalls of unspeakable beauty. Near one of them – Klong Plu Waterfall – there is an elephant farm where you can observe the life of these amazing animals and, of course, ride elephants at least once in your life.
Like other Thai islands, Koh Chang has specially equipped viewing platforms, the most famous and largest of which is located on a mountain in the Kai Bay area.
Kayak rides, which can be rented on the beach, and personalized trips to nearby islands and mangroves, are fun activities.
Mangrove forests are one of the main attractions of Koh Chang. These unique and beneficial trees attract fish and shellfish, protect against high waves, flood, and serve as a natural filter for dirty water.
Of course, in addition to natural pleasures, Buddhist temples can be visited on the island, and nightlife lovers can hang out at beach parties and relax in the bar with a drink to the accompaniment of live music.
EXPERIENCE TOURIST REVIEW
Yes, the infrastructure on Koh Chang is not as well developed as on Koh Samui, but maybe this is the beauty of the island?
Maybe right now it is worth hurrying up and visiting Ko Chang before it becomes the second Samui?
By the way, it should be noted that rich Thais prefer to spend their weekend on the island of Koh Chang. And that says a lot.
Once a famous guide taught me: “Look carefully at which restaurants and cafes the locals eat, and in which parts of their country they like to relax.”
